The good, the bad and the meh: the continuing Asta saga

March 1, 2013January 31, 2020 ~ Tara R. ~ 10 Comments

Today, we had a sort of "good news/bad news, but mostly meh news" appointment at the vet's with our fur kid Asta. After a two-week wait, we hoped that she healed to the point where the pin in her hip could be removed. The bad news is her vet wasn't satisfied with the progress of … Continue reading The good, the bad and the meh: the continuing Asta saga

Broken bones

February 5, 2013January 31, 2020 ~ Tara R. ~ 17 Comments

It’s been two full days, and our new fur kid, Asta, is assimilating nicely. She’s not as shy, coming to us when we call, and letting us pet and hold her.  She’s playfully interacting with our older dog, Hershey, and seems comfortable in her new home.

"Pick a word you think describes her then go to Google translate and plug it into 10 different languages." The Boy offered up his suggestion for picking a name for our newest family member. I thought that was a great idea, until I actually went through the process. I didn't take into account pronunciation problems. … Continue reading What’s in a name

Opening our hearts and home

January 24, 2013January 31, 2020 ~ Tara R. ~ 13 Comments

Last weekend while I was out on my photo hike, the Mister hit our local pet store to get a few things for the fur kids, and happened upon an Adopt a Pet event. Not too far from us is a HUGE no-kill animal refuge. They take in all sorts of creatures, not just dogs … Continue reading Opening our hearts and home
